"Inspector Gadget is always on duty!"
Kirk Boulder is a character in Inspector Gadget. He was a muscular man with a large pompadour. His companions were two M.A.D. Munchkins, two childlike trolls.
Routine[]
Kirk Boulder and the two M.A.D. Munchkins were stationed at the Metro City Reservoir during a drought. When Dr. Claw told them Gadget was on the way, Boulder insured him they were ready for him. He took the Munchkins in his arms as they rode an elevater from their hidden lair beneath the reservoir to the surface. There Kirk oversaw 'his boys' loading a large boulder into a catapult and aim it at Gadget's vehicle, the Gadget Van. Gadget exited his vehicle after parking it on the dam. Kirk told the Munchkins to fire the catapult, and the boulder hit it's target, but instead of damaging the van, it autmatically converted itself to it's Gadgetmobile mode. Boulder ordered his boys to fire more rocks, but none of these managed to hit the car or it's owner, who ran around to evade them, looking for cover. When Kirk noticed Gadget was heading for a ladder, he told the Munckins to go get him, and loaded one more rock into the catapult himself. But the catapult released the boulder while Kirk was still holding on to it, causing him to crash into the cart of a recently arrived ice cream seller (Brain in disguise). Boulder ended up lying at the bottom of the reservoir, temporarily knocked out, with Gadget, Brain and the Munckins all heading down as well.
After recovering, Boulder was told by Claw that a little girl was snooping around. He ordered the Munchkins to go get her, while he would take care of Gadget himself. The Gadgetmobile was stuck on a nearby ledge leading to the reservoir, owing to it's engine overheating. Boulder approached the inspector intensionally guzzling from a flask of water. After drinking his fill and emptying the last drop on the ground, Kirk told Gadget he got the water from a little waterfall down the mountain. When Gadget bent over to look at it using his Gadget Binoculars, Boulder told he he would help him down and picked up the Inspector, then threw him down the cliff. But Gadget landed on a ledge just a little bit lower and used his telescoping Gadget Legs to reach back up so he could ask Boulder to lower him with a rope instead. After a while, Boulder let go of the rope so that Gadget would plummet to his death, but Kirk did not notice that a coyote (Brain in another disguise) had tied the other end of the rope to Kirk's foot. Being pulled down himself, Boulder fell past Gadget, who had landed safely on another small ledge, while Boulder crashed onto a ledge near the small waterfall, which began to pour down on his head. Gadget noticed this, and wanted to safe his 'friend', but managed to knock himself out as well when his Gadget Skis deployed instead of his Gadget 'Copter. They were soon joined by the coyote, who also lost consciousness. Witnessing all this on his computer screen, Dr. Claw diverted a massive amount of water to crash through the rocky wall where the small waterfall emerged, sweeping Boulder, Gadget, and the 'Coyote' allong with it.
Of the three, Gadget was the first to recover and found that his canteen was now full. He grabbed his friend Boulder and this time his 'Copter engaged perfectly, enabling Gadget to carry Boulder out of the ravine and back to the Gadgetmobile. Gadget asked if he could give his new friend a lift somewhere, and Boulder replied he was just on his way to Ballancing Rock. Boulder told Gadget to stand under balancing rock, then went up the rock itself to losen it and have it come crashing on top of the Inspector. His efforts were complicated by a buzzard (Brain in yet another disguise) and when Boulder climbed onto Ballancing Rock to get the bird, he was joined by Gadget. Together, they just about managed to keep the rock ballancing. But when Dr. Claw destroyed the dam by firing two missiles from his M.A.D. Jet, Gadget used his 'copter to lift off. No longer able to balance on the rock, Kirk fell onto the water and climbed out together with two other defeated and soaking wet M.A.D. Agents, Dick and Fred. They sadly sat down on a rock, while Gadget told them they should be more careful where they swam, and Chief Quimby and his men arrived to arrest them.
